Amruthavarshini

One of the most stunningly beauteous ragas of Carnatic music!
Muthuswamy Dikshitar's immortal krithi "Aandamrutha Varshini Amruthavarshini"
brought rains to a parched land. In such copious measure that the people of that land
requested him to modify his krithi slightly to stop the rain!

In my humble opinion, Ilayaraja is to Tamil film music, what the Carnatic trinity
were to that genre.

Here is a video of a film song set in Amruthavarshini.
